So I ODIN to EB13 and got the OTA to EC05, then I rooted with CMW3 and flashed this rom, but before the rom finishes flashing, the phone reboots. I am able to go back to CMW and flash it agin until it completes, but then when I restart, the boot hangs at the ACS logo and never finishes loading. I restart my phone a few times and then it finally goes all the way through, but while using my phone I get all kinds of FC's and the phone freezes consistently and I must pull the battery.... rumor has it this rom is supposed to be damn near perfect... can someone help me get a fresh install?!?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Wipe and reflash again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garr741:
I've done that twice today & I still get the same issue...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I suggest you try again ;) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. Flash, and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
Actually I thought that about airplane mode too but I can't remember what rom I was on but wifi did work on airplane mode. I think it does on some phones believe it or not.

Yes I used to turn on AP mode to disable the phone, then turn on WIFI to use data on my Palm Pre. And I am almost 100% sure I used to be able to on my Epic 4G too. But after reading the last few posts I tried to and no longer can. Maybe never could, but not going to flash a different ROM or modem to see.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garr741:
Let it sit after flashin, or reboot & let it sit. I mentioned I get stuck at the ACS boot screen, is that normal? If so, for how long? And do I need to flash a kernel or anything? Thanks in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
What do you mean get stuck? Does it take a while, which is normal, or does it actually freeze?
[Epic 4G Android Development] netengineer:
Okay, I did all of that and still my Bluetooth just will not turn on. I no idea what is going on with it. It was working fine up until Tuesday of last week. It's crazy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well since it's not even working on stock, it looks like a phone issue. Leave it on stock and take it into sprint I'd say.

k0nane, since you were able to remove carrier IQ, I'm wondering if you'd consider trying to remove the privacy stuff mentioned in this recent CNN article:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20056657-281.html

Apparently, android periodically uploads to google (HTTP POST to http://www.google.com/loc/m/api) it's MAC address, the wifi network it's on (if any), as well as any visible wifi network's, geo coords, and a unique handset ID.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garr741:
It takes a while, and idk if u r familar with this, but u know how the phone vibrates before u get a FC, it does that all throughout the initial start up....
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes I am familiar with that :rolleyes: Have you tried fixing permissions from recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] garr741:
I've seen the option, but I know nothing about it... what does it do and how do I do it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Boot into recovery and go to advanced, then select it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It makes perfect sense to be able to use wifi on a plane since they now offer it, I was just clarifying that originally, airplane mode was designed to shut down ALL transmissions due to supposed interference (in truth, they have dispelled that myth - but it's still pointless to have cell radios in operation when you're going too fast to lock onto a tower). So I do support the notion that wifi should work in airplane mode, for the record.

But to those who use the stock rom's behavior as an argument - why would you ever consider Samsung's stock code as a baseline for how things are supposed to work? ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] tubasteve:
Epics d do it as I have an extra one and all I see very usful when I'm trying to sleep but want the notifications to still sound, use wifi for weather alerts. It is a eversince moment.

I'm willing to findout tonight.

True but I'm saying it might help to see what was removed, not having to reinvent the wheel puttin it back in, or patching it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] garr741:
So I've done everything u said & still no good result. Im back on EB13 & about to update Ec05, root, and try again. But this time I have formatted my sd card and also, I discovered that the first time I flash this rom, it flashes the kernel and causes it to reboot and it never tells me ACS was finished installing. It reboots to a regular, but unstable version of ec05. I then use 3 finger salute to wipe data, cache, dalvik 3x and flash the rom again. It always completely installs the second time, I don't flash any other kernals, I just reboot and it hangs at the ACS boot animation...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, start from scratch like you are and then see.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schicksal:
Hey I have been running this rom for less than 24 hours and so far I love it. I ran into a couple of snags but figured out how to fix them. One thing that has me stumped is that my clock on the task bar is cut off half ways.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
I dont want to have to search through all 300+ pages to find my answer, so Im just gonna ask...

Is there a journaling version of this ROM in progress again? Ive had to reflash due to phone freezes 3 times already, and only having recently backed up, Im thinking that Im gonna drop to another ROM if it keeps happening.

I can reproduce at least 1 one of the crashes every time (while charging, deskclock app, let it go to 'sleep' so that it has that color looking clock on it, hit power button to bring it out of sleep, no dice - phone frozen). Also was having a major issue with the browser, though Ive gone to Visionkernel 1.0 (never updated - because apparently 1.2 was bricking phones) and I havent seen it since, but then again, Im using firefox to browse instead of the built in browser.

I guess Im just wondering whats being worked with in this next version and if they are gonna release a journaling version. Thats what Im more in need of. I dont mind a random crash - hell, my computer crashes every once in a while, but to have to REFLASH everytime some random glitch happens and kills ****, well...thats just **** on a stick for everyone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just turn on journaling. Make a backup, restore it, and bam, journaling on ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
How does one, turn on journaling? I was under the impression that a rom had to be compiled differently (hence the reason why 2 sets of ROMs were uploaded originally for 1.2)...
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Just like impaler said,make a nand backup then flash it.

Texted while driving
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I just posted how to do it ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Are we talking a backup through clockworkmod or...? I see the Nand backup phrase a lot, but I cant find any updated info on nandroid. I mean, Ive done a backup through clockwork now...so do I just restore it from clockwork and it will be journaled?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Nandroid and clockwork backup are the same.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Yes
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Alright then - so that you understand next time - the following quote doesnt help those who dont know.

So now that we've got that out of the way, and I have a clockworkmod backup, I am going to restore it and it should just enable journaling? How will I know if it is successful? Just trust it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup pretty much. You can verify by pulling the battery and seeing how there's no FCs when you boot back up ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
What a way to verify that its working properly. Well, we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the help.

Also - new version of syndicate rom being worked on with a better twilight kernel? Just curious if I should stick around for whats in store....
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes it is being worked on :) And there's a button for thanks now ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RoZm X:
Any word in the morning version if this rom.. Really looking forward to flashing this rom on my girls epic. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Morning version? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Impaler is having fun with you he answers the same question day in and day out the journaling question alone about 50 times, hes gotta stay same somehow. This has been explained in detail many times but an update zip (that you flash in clockwork) tells the fs to turn it off. When you restore a backup it formats the fs but lacks the instructions to tell the fs to turn it off like the zip did. The winky face after telling you to pull the battery emphasizes he was merely joking lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Let me see if reading mysterys post has taught me anything about a swype fail: translation, "any news of a journaling version of this rom?"
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, two dead on posts in a row :D

[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
See. The problem is that this thread is nearly 900 pages long. Try doing a search for 'journaling' and see where that gets you...instead, if an edit was done to the front page with the instructions he said, PLUS the bit of information from you, youd prolly find that people MIGHT (just might, prolly not) not ask the questions. On the same topic, a wiki + a faq would do the same thing...as people tend to like wiki's and faqs and whatnot.

I enjoy the information, and I really do enjoy learning this stuff. I still have my palm pre where I rooted the device and whacked around in WebOS hacking and changing stuff all the time - this stuff is kinda new to me, and I only got so much of a grasp on it. Its good for the information to be there (with threads like this) but not so good that its nearly 900 pages long CRAM PACKED full of info...lot to take in, and sort through, for the people that arent as savvy as others...
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
I can't stay away from this ROM. It's too clean.

However, I'm wondering if the stock EC05 kernel will work with this ROM. The included one doesn't like my phone at all and Genocide seems to be eating battery. I had great battery with stock after I made it clean of all BS except CIQ so I think I need the stock kernel on ACS for ideal results.

I'd also like to know where I can get a copy of just the stock kernel to try it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
AFIAK, the stock kernel will not support the EXT4 filesystem that this rom uses. Try the bonsai kernel if you don't like Genocide. My phone hates the Twilight kernel too as well as the Vision Kernel but I have good luck with Genocide and Bonsai. If Genocide is eating your battery then why not just clock it down to 1ghz? It doesn't have to be running at 1400.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Lmao @ scottydoesntknow been a while since I seen that one!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
Why would you assume I'm overclocking?

I am curious as to any hopeful changes for the next update? This is a pretty good ROM and after enabling journaling I am not having a lot of issues at all. I am just curious what other improvemnts can really be made. I know the t-out is being worked on and that would be an awesome update but I just wonder what else can really be done with this rom besides the BT fix mentioned through the thread as well as other bugs. Is it just a bug fix update? (not tryign tomake that sound miniscule or unimportant)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I love that service and agree.

It is funny, the thread is so long because people ask the same questions and don't search and then others use the size of the thread to say why they didn't search. Google is your friend.

For this specific issue you can pick about any random page of the thread and find someone asking and responding with an answer.

Fwiw there is an faq someone made in either the q&a or general section and I believe someone set up mediawiki to house a wiki.

Remember...it is not the size of the thread that counts....its how you use it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
In defense of some non-searchers and thread fatteners, the XDA app search doesn't work very well and I'm usually a good Googler but it's not natural for me to go there to search a specific forum thread here. I'm sure others are the same.

Having said that, my usual tactic on all forums is to post a question and immediately start searching in case an answer is posted faster or more accurately than I can dig up the information. If my search yields results, I'll try to edit or delete my post before it annoys anyone. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RoZm X:
Sorry horrible typo I meant journaling****

Edit: nvm I just read how to enable journaling! :) easy stuff I will flash on my girl's epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
Yeah it's easy peasy. I think what confuses people is calling it a "nandroid backup" as opposed to just saying "create and restore a cwm backup."

I knew what cwm was but I had no clue what nandroid meant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hasseo:
I think that they're going to add UV since like 2 weeks ago I asked what's the difference between this and 1.0.2 was and I mentioned that I didn't need the OC since I prefer battery over performance... Impaler said that since I wanted to UV, that 1.1.1 will be something I'll like, lol.

I eneabled journaling and lost nooo performance.

In fact, runs more stable and I can run 1.4 now, no lockup :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
With the support they have here (namely impaler and k0 too) I would suggest reversing that order...searching first, posting second, only because there is about a 0.1% chance you'll find something out before impaler responds to your question.

Most people need to sleep for at least 4 hours a night, but somehow, this guy seemingly gets by on about 20 minute cat naps like Kramer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
Nobody's forcing anyone to respond to the posts at all, let alone as diligently as konane and impaler do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Bingo! Impaler what's my prize?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lp894:
in adding a bit more defense for people who "don't search". Even I've noticed that sometimes you search for something, and get a million results for it, and 999,999 of them are the question being asked and either no one answering it, or someone saying "use search". So it kinda goes both ways. Yea, I could search it, and maybe I have...but I still don't see an answer and really, don't have time to go through all 150 results to find the ONE that has my answer. On the flip side, byt posting the question AGAIN...there are now 151 results for the next guy to have to search through.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Sorry for spawning a fest on this topic. The statement above happens so infrequently in this thread that you can click through about any 3 pages and gett 80% of the answers. People like their hand held.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Agreed, and thankfully they do. This thread is now 875 pages long...875!!! It could easily be condensed down to less than 100 if people would put forth just a little effort before blasting yet another repeat question.

What happens if they don't answer the questions you ask? Those same people too lazy to do the work themselves will literally quote themselves and say "any update or answer for this?" a handful of times, adding to yet more waste.

You're okay with people posting the same question 150+ times, I'm not. We'll agree to disagree, and I'm okay with that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
have there been any reports of phones bricking with the current kernal included with ACS? i'm planning to Flash this when I get my replacement phone tonight, I just don't want to back at sprint within the week, they wouldn't appreciate that :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
to echo

i find that most forum searches aren't as 'robust' as using google or some other engine. with that said, many of the answers have already been posted, with detailed descriptions, links and explanations. continuing to post multitudes of the same question is an aggravate. the typical response to why users post without actually doing any research: I'm too lazy

laziness = the bane of our society!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
not bricking but i was having issues with the kernal included so i went to the vision kernel and then did a backup and restore so that way journaling was enabled. Been much better so far. But i still have slight issues every now and then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Just fyi.......stock kernel is garbage...

The team makes magic....

Hahahahahahaha.................I have to admit Dreams that was a great call...

No............................

As far as the whole search vs read thing...its been discussed so many times...lets just let it go....it just adds to more clutter:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] LunaticWolf:
The one time I tried to search for something in this thread, it spent 15 minutes trying to load the search, and then failed and claimed my captcha code was incorrect. I'm not colorblind either.

Too many posts in this thread. Next update should come with a new thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
Just fyi.......stock kernel is GREAT for me when I run stock ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lp894:
I use the provided kernel and I'm working fine. I have an occasional lock up...I also notice lockups with specific doing extremely specific things...but I think that may just be the app itself. Other than that...personally, I work fine
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
I agree. New thread for new update. A more comprehensive setup post and clean FAQ would also help immensely, with everyone agreeing to collectively ignore all questions already answered in the original setup post(s) to keep the thread clean. Not even a "it's in the OP" or "do a search" should be added in response.

IMHO of course.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Well I beg to differ....reason being is that I am running it now....games freeze and lag bad....battery life is weak and just overall performance is sporadic.....but doesn't mean it wasn't good for you...these phones do have minds of their own

but it will be off my phone here shortly....just didn't have time over the weekend to flash my new epic since I got it...but I cant handle it anymore:eek:.....its priority now...
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
I wouldn't put "I'm working fine" and "I have an occasional lockup" in the same sentence. Locking up isn't running fine, IMHO.

I don't lock up at all with Genocide on this ROM and I didn't lock up at all with the stock kernel on the stock ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dchawk81:
Yeah that's why I added the "for me" in there.

I had really really good performance when I stripped stock down. I just couldn't eliminate CIQ myself and I read that the throttle service is embedded and I wanted that out too. Those are my only two reasons for being on ACS. I don't need or care about overclocking, undervolting, etc.

I have tried both the vision kernel and the twilight zone kernel linked to on the first page. The problem I have is that at least once a day the phone won't wake up when I press the button and I have to pull the battery to get it to boot up. When it does this, the battery gets very hot. Any ideas what I can do to prevent this or what may be causing it? This is a great rom and I definitely would not want to go back to stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It does the on the rom's stock kernel as well?

i have this quite often. very difficult to deal with but i love everything else. Mainly the infrastructure wifi tethering. I was getting it with the stock acs kernel and vision.

Flash the genocide kernel, or make sure that you set your min frequency above 100.

does it have the infrastructure wifi tethering ability? also do i want to use on demand or conservative. i been using ondemand with issues, switched to conservative and havent had a freeze yet but i never see it hit 1200 when on conservative.
